A review of microvalves
Kwang W. Oh,Chong H. Ahn +1 more
TL;DR: A brief overview of microvalves can be found in this paper, where the authors focus on the actuation mechanisms and their applications, including flow regulation, on/off switching and sealing of liquids, gases or vacuums.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on surface wettability of poly(dimethyl) siloxane (PDMS) and glass under oxygen-plasma treatment and correlation with bond strength
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the possibility of the existence of a common scale, which can be used to gauge bond strength between various surfaces and found that the changes in wettability of surfaces owing to various levels of plasma exposure can be a useful parameter to gauge the bond strength.
